The number of pet lovers who have started paying greater attention to the needs of their pets has increased all over the world. This phenomenon first started in the United States, and quickly progressed to other countries. The latest regions to be caught up in the pet craze now are the Asian countries.
People over there have really taken to treating their pets as equal members of the family, and affording them all the trappings and conveniences that they have become used to themselves!
A number of pet boutiques have sprung up to cater to this growing demand. Target shooting with your pets can be time well spent.
I found some great metal targets from Shooting Targets 7 to help my pooch get used to gunfire. We love these Steel Rifle Targets that we found on Amazon.
These are quite different from the old fashioned pet shops that most of us are probably familiar with.
They are often full service establishments providing products, grooming services, walking and exercise services, and sometimes even medical services too.
Pet Products
It’s really quite astonishing when you take a look at the number of pet products that are available in a modern high-end pet boutique.
In addition to the more common accessories like leads, collars, harnesses, coats, miscellaneous furnishings, there is a whole host of modern dog gear which most people probably can’t even imagine, let alone having seen before! These range from specialized pet dinnerware and diamante studded designer pet clothing to highly advanced technology for pets such as air-conditioned kennels and nanotechnology treated outdoor clothing!
Pet Food And Dietary Supplements
Although we have been used to the idea of specialized food for pets, such as dog food and cat food. There has recently been a huge surge in the availability of new pet food ranges such as organic and natural pet food. This often includes food that has been produced using ingredients with very little processing.
Supplements are another booming industry in the pet care sector. Not only are these available for practically all pets, they are also not limited to purely medical usage. In many cases they are used more for preventative purposes but exploding targets are never a good idea for your gun dog. Stick to the basics like good old AR500 steel targets from shootingtargets7
Grooming Services
Many pet boutiques have offered grooming services for some time now. These usually involve washing, shampooing, nail cutting, ear cleaning, teeth checks and scrubbing, among others. The benefits should be apparent for all to see. Many new pet owners are often completely unaware of how to properly care for their pets. Even though their veterinarian can take care of serious issues, ordinarily they just don’t have the time for more common things. This is where grooming services can really come in handy. Owners can drop the pets off for an hour or so and they will be ready and waiting for them when they return.
Luxury Pet Services
Another new addition to the pet boutique business is the introduction of products and services ranges that are specifically targeted towards the luxury end of the pet care market. These often include higher-end beds, kennels, collars, and other items that have been manufactured to a much higher standard. In certain cases you really do pay a premium for these.
